“Simply love Leslie Wolfe! The Baxter-Holt series is one of the best in the genre! This was a great story that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Cannot wait until the next one, Las Vegas Crime, coming in November. Keep writing them, Leslie!”

A GRIPPING CRIME THRILLER

She seemed peaceful, as if in her last moments her young body hadn’t agonized, desperately trying to live, to survive. Her lips were parted slightly, as if she were breathing gently while dreaming of something only she knew. Whatever her secret, she’d taken it with her.

Detectives Laura Baxter and Jack Holt are members of the elite: Las Vegas Metro PD, one of the toughest and most respected law enforcement agencies in the United States. In the middle of a city with two million residents and 43 million annual visitors, they’re hunting for a killer.

The girl

When a beautiful, young girl is killed in the high-roller pleasure pit of the exclusive Scala Casino, the news reverberates for hours among the ritzy clientele. Before taking the stage where she found her death, Crystal was last seen boarding an unmarked helicopter for a late-night flight to an unknown destination.

The money

The stakes are high at the roulette table, and the players are hot-blooded. Among them, a stone cold killer watches, waits, and kills without leaving a single trace of evidence. Rien ne va plus but death.

The game

The name of the game is murder, and it doesn’t stop with Crystal’s demise. Anyone who threatens to expose the killer’s identity will soon find they’re being targeted.

In Las Vegas, secrets can kill.

Two mavericks make an intriguing team. Baxter and Holt trust each other with their lives, only not with their darkest secrets.

Fans of James Patterson, David Baldacci, Lee Child, and Robert Dugoni will be engrossed in this riveting, entertaining police procedural that will keep you reading well into the early morning hours.

This was well thought out and really a good mystery. The story unfolds little by little, making you want more. It has murder, powerful people who believe they can do anything they want, greed, revenge and self preservation. The characters are all interesting with their own set of secrets each, that Baxter and Holt have to pick through layer after layer to find the killer. There are several twists that keep you guessing. There are no misspelled words or grammer mistakes , or filler pages , which makes this a pleasure to read. I sincerely hope we see more of Baxter and Holt in the future. Another well thought out and well written story by Leslie Wolfe.

This story will take your breathe away! Leslie Wolfe has become one of my Must Read authors. Detectives Laura Baxter and Jack Holt catch the death of an 18 year old exotic dancer in a high rollers room in a Law Vegas casino. The main plot involves how this young lady died but there are subplots that just as interesting. The suspects keep increasing in number as the detectives investigate the crime. I would highly recommend this book if you like thrillers.

Casino Girl written by Leslie Wolfe is the second book in the Baxter and Holt series. Although it is second in series I think it could be read as a standalone. There is a slight carryover from the first book and a continuing thread regarding Laura Baxter's backstory which we are getting piecemeal but that is part of what makes the series so interesting by allowing us to slowly become acquainted with the characters but I don't think it would leave a first time reader overly in the dark. I highly recommend you read Las Vegas Girl as well but because it is a very good book not because I think you would be lost if you didn't.

In this book Baxter and Holt as well as the M.E. are trying to determine how such a young girl died but when natural causes are ruled out they have to figure out how she was murdered as well as who did it. Ms. Wolfe always seems to come up with a different method for her murderers to kill.

I purchase all of Leslie's books usually while they are in preorder status. I enjoy her books immensely and look forward to her next entry in any of her series, in fact I have already preordered the next Baxter and Holt book. She has never disappointed me.

LVMPD Detectives Laura Baxter and Jack Holt investigate the death of Las Vegas exotic dancer, Crystal Tillman. Crystal died onstage in the high roller room in the ritzy Scala Casino. What would cause a healthy eighteen year-old to drop dead in the middle of her dance routine?

This book has it all: murder, mystery and intrigue! Not only is there a great plot, there are several good subplots masterfully woven in. There is no shortage of suspects — everyone from another dancer to billionaires. This thriller moves along at a decent pace from the beginning and will keep your attention until the end. It takes awhile for the medical examiner to identify what killed Crystal and that adds to the suspense. There are twists, turns and surprises to keep the reader guessing. I guessed who the guilty party was almost as soon as that character was introduced, but it did not detract from my reading experience. I enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to the next one in the series.

This is not the first book I have read by Leslie Wolfe and it will not be the last!

Satisfying murder mystery with continuous twists and turns. My kind of book. A really good sequel to Las Vegas Girl. Best to read it first for more info on the relationship between Baxter and Holt. Good editing, which is greatly appreciated. No fillers, long paragraphs. I read it in one day. Looking forward to the next sequel. Love this duo!

When a Vegas girl is killed, Detectives Laura Baxter and Jack Holt get the case. She was an exotic dancer in the high rollers room in a Vegas casino. But that is where everything starts. The more they investigate, the more things come to light that some people would rather not have come to light. There are stories within this story that will keep you wondering just where is this headed? Exceptional story line! Great characters! I loved this story and can't wait for the next one!

When I read the first book in this series, I thought it was a novel and was disappointed I wouldn't get to indulge in more of these characters then to my pleasant surprise this book came out and now a 3rd book to come! I loved these crime stories, definitely had me trying to figure it out the whole time and I could never get it! Love that about a mystery! Can't wait to see what happens in the next book.

This story is thoroughly entertaining and does a masterful job at revealing an excellent plot. There are several very interesting characters that add to the appeal of the story. Two police officers are assigned the murder of a casino girl and the suspect list is quite lengthy. Slowly but surely the suspect list is narrowed until the killer is revealed.
